Replying To Doylerwex:  "You're not wrong there. The same amount of championship silverware as Galway in that period. Just not the big one for us sadly.

I am pleased that you joined our championship and managed to increase your standards to the level of Leinster counties to get Joe his medal though. Fair play."
It's not a 'Leinster standard' really since 1999. It was 'the KK std'. That was the standard required to avoid elimination v the cats.

Kilkenny are no less dominant now though, even though you're still picking really strange frames or reference.

6 in a row up to 04 broken by Wexford
7 in a row up to 12, broken by Galway
13 Dublin, 17 Galway
19 broken by Wexford
Now 6 in a row again even though this is a weak Kilkenny by their standards.

I'm going to move away from winding you up for a minute. It would be genuinely great if any one of ourselves or Dublin could stop it this yes.

If Kilkenny had of been playing in Munster in the noughties they wouldve won most of the Munster Championships in that decade. It was an exceptionally good team.

That's ok, move away, you're the one picking the really strange frames of reference.

They are obviously less dominant now, going from 11 allirelands 2000-2015, to none 2016-2025.

No less dominant in Leinster, but still a KK standard, not a Leinster one. Galway have generally dealt with Wexford fairly handily, since they entered the Senior LHC in 2009. Have we lost to Wexford more than once in the LHC in those 17 seasons? A little more successful heh heh.......
